Economic Aspects of Arms OffsetsNonreviewed - Other
Arms-importing countries often ask their suppliers to "offset" the cost by reinvesting some of the money in their country.

This article examines the theory and policy applications of arms trade offsets and looks at some cases (JAS 39 C/D GRIPEN). It will be a useful and enlightening read for those interested in international development economics, military studies and our Czech policy-makers.
